Red Garland Trio - All Kinds of Weather (1958) [2006 Jazz紙ジャケ十八番]

Red Garland was always a consistent pianist and all of his mid-to-late-'50s Prestige dates are worth acquiring. This CD reissue has six titles having to do with seasons and the weather (such as "Rain," "Summertime" and "Winter Wonderland"). The gimmick served as a good excuse for Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Art Taylor to explore six superior songs and their interpretations always swing and uplift the melodies.


Tracks:

1. "Rain" (Ford, Morgan, Swanstrom) - 4:14
2. "Summertime" (Gershwin, Gershwin, Heyward) - 4:43
3. "Stormy Weather" (Arlen, Koehler) - 10:35
4. "Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year" (Loesser) - 5:42
5. "Winter Wonderland" (Bernard, Smith) - 5:21
6. "'Tis Autumn" (Nemo) - 9:08

Personnel:

Red Garland - piano
Paul Chambers - bass
Art Taylor - drums
